Would it be hard for an 18 year old girl to move to America on her own and find somewhere to live?
I've always wanted to live in America. Specifically in Orlando, or somewhere in Florida. I currently live in England and I hate it. Realistically, is it possible to move out there and live on my own? What kind of job could I get? (I would have no degree but would have finished high school) It would be for a year or two. How much money would I need? So far I have about $7000 saved up.

It would be impossible for you to do so legally as you need at least a degree to get a work permit. If you were to come illegally, you would not be able to get a good job, would always be at risk for arrest and deportation and would be at risk for exploitation. Also, being honest, you would need to speak Spanish if you are going to be in the illegal underground. So, don't do it. Go to college and get yourself a decent career first.

Given the economy I would say it would be very difficult right now for even an american girl to make it without some sort of skill that is in demand. I recommend going to college and getting some marketable skills before you venture out to other countries. Many of my friends did not go to college and they make about $7.00USD per hour. Rent in most cities is $600 or more a month for a safe place to live. Definitely count the cost before you go.

If you want to temporarily live and work in the U.S., you will need an H-2B visa which is a non-immigrant visa, but it allows you to work in the U.S. for a period of time. It can also provide the opportunity to get access to a green card (permanent resident card) if you become interested in that. The H-2B visa is identified as being for persons wanting to temporarily live and work in the U.S. in fields of seasonal nonagricultural industries. For example, ski instructor, hotel employee, theme park worker, etc. This is very popular with younger people from other countries who want to experience the U.S. without permanently moving here. Many hotels, resorts, theme parks in popular U.S. tourist destinations will take on such employee's. A list of all temporary work visas is available here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=13ad2f8b69583210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=13ad2f8b69583210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD I would personally recommend going elsewhere in the U.S. over Orlando. Your only options in that area for work under an H-2B visa would be at Disney, Universal, a nearby hotel, a restaurant, etc and you probably wouldn't enjoy that as the area is very isolated. If you really want to go to Florida, you may like the Venice / Marco Island area or Florida which are beautiful areas on the Gulf of Mexico. The Florida Keys (specifically Key West) is also great. Elsewhere, anywhere on the California coast is nice. If you want a city experience go to San Francisco or New York. Hopefully this helps. Good luck.

Because of the economy, many kids are moving back with their families. 31 Million people are unemployed, and finding a job is very difficult. Most are only finding part time, with no benefits. If you moved here on your own, you wouldnt do well. BTW living in Orlando, is much different than going to Orlando and DisneyWorld. I think if Orlando is the only city/Florida the only state, youve been too, you may be living in Fantasyland. You should do more research. And research "US IMMIGRATION" laws

Unless you are independently wealthy you will need a job + a work visa. You need a sponsor (employer) for a work visa - you can't apply for one on your own. http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html Check with US companies in the UK and UK companies with offices in the USA. For example, Hilton and Marriott hire international staff as interns. UK citizens can visit the USA for up to 90 days as a tourist, so you could travel for interviews & tests if necessary. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/business_pleasure/vwp/i94_samples.xml Search "international exchange programs USA" and there should be many links to programs that offer temporary and seasonal work in the US. Examples are: http://www.ccusa.com/country.aspx http://yummyjobs.com/ Do carefully check any programs you might be interested in as not all of them are a good deal. Another option is to go to school in the USA. UK citizens can easily get a US student visa and you MAY be able to work on-campus. Having a USA university diploma or certificate will make applying for jobs easier, and going to school in the US will help you decide if you really want to move here. http://www.collegesintheusa.com/ If you decide to go to university in the USA the first step is to identify several schools you might want to attend and make contact with their offices of international students For example: http://global.tulane.edu/oiss/ http://oiss.uno.edu/ Note that it is equally difficult for an American to move to the UK. Good luck!
